Costa del Sol and Costa de Almeria Restaurants

Málaga is best for traditional Spanish cooking, with a wealth of bars and seafood restaurants serving fritura malagueña, the city's famous fried seafood. Torremolinos's Carihuela district is also a good destination for lovers of Spanish seafood. The area's resorts serve every conceivable foreign cuisine, from Thai to the Scandinavian smorgasbord. For delicious cheap eats, try the chiringuitos. Strung out along the beaches, these summer-only restaurants serve seafood fresh off the boats. Because there are so many foreigners here, meals on the coast are served earlier than elsewhere in Andalusia; most restaurants open at 1 or 1:30 for lunch and 7 or 8 for dinner.

  • 1. Restaurante El Mirlo Blanco

    $$$$

    In an old house on the pleasant Plaza de la Constitución, this restaurant is run by a Basque family that's been in the Costa del Sol restaurant business since 1968. The cozy indoor dining room, with a log fire for cooler days, is welcoming and intimate, with original and noteworthy artwork interspersed among the arches, hanging plants, and traditional white paintwork. Outdoor dining takes in views of the square from the lovely rooftop terrace, perfectly shaded by grapevines in the summer. Good choices here are Basque specialties such as txangurro and bacalao a la vizcaína (cod in a tomato and pepper sauce), plus roasted meats, particularly the lamb. And don't miss the sensational Grand Marnier soufflé for dessert. There's a long gin list too.
